Yuan Dan was raised by Yuan Xiang's side from a young age. As the saying goes, "One who is near vermilion gets stained red, and one who is near ink gets stained black." Although Yuan Dan grew up to be beautiful and dignified, she was also taught to be exceptionally disciplined. Therefore, she would definitely abide by the rule that unmarried women should not have contact with men outside the marriage.
But Yuan Dan is a modern person, whose thinking is more than a thousand years more advanced than that of people in ancient times. Asking her to follow the rules is impossible for Miss Yuan.
“The little bird is my savior, and Your Highness is its owner. My grandfather taught me from a young age to be grateful and repay kindness. I am just trying to repay your kindness. Is that not allowed?”
Yuan Xiang was momentarily speechless at her words, and snorted coldly, "What 'life-saving bird'? That's utterly absurd."
“Grandfather, please don’t try to persuade me anymore. I must see the little bird.” Yuan Dan said firmly.
Yuan Xiang was so angry his beard almost stood on end: "Even if it costs you your reputation?"
New Year's Day is no big deal! "So what if I lose? At worst, the prince will carry me to the Prince's mansion in a sedan chair."
Yuan Xiang: "..."
Look, is this something an unmarried girl would say?
Yuan Qing also felt that these words were not like those of his conservative sister, but Yuan Dan had already used the excuse of needing to bathe and change clothes to "drive" him and Yuan Xiang out of the room.
“Grandfather…” Yuan Qing hesitated before looking at Yuan Xiang.
Yuan Xiang angrily flung his sleeve: "She is not allowed to go to the front hall to see Prince Gan."
Having said that, he left with his servants.
Yuan Qing stood outside the door with an inscrutable expression, seemingly lost in thought.
He was skeptical of what Yuanyuan said.
After Xiao Yuanyuan fell into a coma, Yuanyuan woke up.
Before Yuan Yuan fell from her horse, she had no idea that the prince had a pet bird. But as soon as she woke up, she asked where the bird was.
It seemed she knew about the little bird all along, and that the bird had come to visit her earlier that day.
But how did Yuan Yuan know that?
After taking a fragrant petal bath on New Year's Day, she let her maid dress her.
"Miss, you're finally awake! I almost thought you were..." Jin Ying, her personal maid who had served her for many years, said in a choked voice as she combed her hair.
Yuan Dan smiled and said, "Just do a simple bun, or the prince will leave if we delay any longer."
Jin Ying was somewhat at a loss for words: "Miss, do you really want to see Prince Gan?"
"To be precise, we went to see the birds kept by the Prince of Gan."
"But I've heard that Prince Gan dotes on that little bird, and he even takes it with him when he goes to the military camp, so... can Prince Gan let you see it?"
"Yes." Yuan Dan nodded without hesitation.
Seeing this, Jin Ying stopped talking and quickly combed Yuan Dan's hair and put on hair ornaments.
Looking at the bright-eyed, white-toothed girl in the mirror, whose lips were like peach blossoms and whose every smile and frown was captivating, Jin Ying sweetly praised, "Miss, you are getting more and more beautiful."
On New Year's Day, without any modesty, she chimed in: "Yes."
Jin Ying: "..."
It seems like the young lady has become a completely different person after she got sick.
Jin Ying wasn't the only one who felt this way; Yuan Qing also noticed his sister's unusual behavior.
For example, right now, this girl is actually clinging to his arm and acting all cute.
"Good brother, please let me go see the little bird." The girl's voice was clear and soft, and her eyes looked at him expectantly.
Yuan Qing: "..."
How could he possibly give in to his sister's coquettishness?
A short while later.
"His Highness is in the main hall, please don't..."
Before Yuan Qing could finish his words, which symbolized compromise, Yuan Dan had already run off towards the front hall.
Yuan Qing called out from behind, "Slow down!"
Why does he look so anxious, like he's rushing to see his sweetheart?
etc……
Could it be that Yuan Yuan... has fallen for the prince?
